::Yeah!:: Cliffjumper snaps, not about to admit he probably-definitely overreacted and listened to his paranoia and twitchy trigger finger again over the most obvious conclusion.

Partly because some part of him is convinced the 'Cons could've come up with something - perhaps tied to the ship itself - even if they can't make something like Mirage's invisibility to any greater degree.

Part of it is just that he's embarrassed and frustrated. Especially as he almost ended up shooting the mech they'd come here to rescue and the very same one he's spent a fragging week being tank-churningly worried and guilty over.
